The Match is Mephisto's top-selling walking shoe for a reason. They're pricier than many other shoes, but they also seem to last much, much longer.

Air relax footbed. Anatomically correct construction for support when walking. Fine latex foam outsole, air-cushioned sole.

Cons

Outsoles are a little slippery at first. Heavy.

Bottom Line

While some customers loved these shoes, others say they started coming apart within months. If you are feeling sticker shock, the Shark Sandal might be a safer choice.

Cons

May run wide. Some customers say the shoe soles came apart much sooner than expected.

    Mephisto shoes provide a unique blend of comfort and design that is rare to find in another casual shoe brand. They are especially well geared for walking, buttressed by an innovative soft-air technology in the midsole that is designed to protect your joints from the shock of hard surfaces. Every pair of mephisto shoes is handmade and contains all-natural materials such as cork and natural rubber along with very fine high-quality leather. You’d be hard pressed to find another line of shoes that will give you the same combination of elegance and practicality at this price point.
